Who is afraid of the Thai Mickey Mouse Law?

Wots the song?

I usually see at least one accident on the road between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. My record is 4 within about half a kilometre at the top of Khun Chae National Park, wet road conditions.

I don't know what contributes to Thais being such lousy drivers; however, I suspect it starts with the quality of instruction.

 

All one can do is drive defensively. Preferably in something with panels stronger than tinfoil.

From one vacuous 'fix' to the next.

Millions of views in a matter of hours. Life must be really boring to some people.

If you throw away a key for 5 years where would you look to find it after 5 years , my TW can't find her scooter key after 2 hours . Sorry just being picky , I agree , should never be let loose on the roads again.

55555!  I can't find my keys after 5 minutes!.  TGF was was tearing up  the other day, she said "I'm worried about you.  I think you have anzhimer nit noy".  I'm gonna tell her it was "anzhimers" when she catches me in the wrong bed and see if I can pull that off.

Yeah, looks like he is trying to get away from M/C Cop, but Chips this is not...

I hope the people on the white car at the end (on the other carriageway) are okay?

Was on the news last night, my gf said he was on Yaba !

I had someone behind  me like this once trying to push thru the inside when there sure wasnt enough room the traffic was moving normally and no hold  ups, I was in a  queue of about 5  cars, it got to the point where i thought  , Ok pal if you dont stop doing this  Im pushing you into the ditch as I was on the main road  carriageway and he was trying to squeeze thru the "motorcycle lane"

He  did this for about 4-5  minutes and then suddenly turned left and disappeared.........crazy

Crazy yes... defines Thai road behaviour ... all part of Thainess...

Nutters.

 

On the road is one place where Thais can vent their real anger, frustration and ego issues.

Yes. It will take a generation to change along with constant education and relentless law enforcement. 

 

???????

Solid Effort !!

One could almost be excused for profiling here.

 

As you approach a break in the upcountry highway on the left, and a yellow, reflective sign for a center-divide U-Turn 300 meters ahead, put there by a road "engineer" with a mail-order degree in livestock management and a sadistic sense of humor, you observe a half-rusted, mud encrusted mid-1980's model Mitsu Space Cab pick up with its pitch black tinted windows rolled down (a/c doesn't work), manned by a Thai male driver of unknown advanced age clinging to a steering wheel he can barely see over, idling on the left shoulder, mouth open, licking lips, staring repeatedly in rapid succession in your general direction then across to the far right lane as you you approach the perpendicular Fatal Funnel.  You groan, ease off the petrol to engine brake decel whilst flashing your high-beams and muttering something about The Bleeping Muppets to your Thai wife, whose knuckles are losing pigmentation from gripping the sides of her seat in escalating anxiety. 

 

What will he do?

 

A). Nothing, wait for you to pass.  

. Wait until you are 100 meters closer.

C). Clutch amulet, Wai, then smash the accelerator and sprint across all lanes of traffic at a mind blowing 3khp in a trailing cloud of black diesel exhaust.

D).  Both B and C.

E. ) Other:________________________________________

400 baht fine. Next!

Looks like a Crystal Meth or Yabaa driver.

Was he an ex-policeman ? 

or some other pillar of the community ?

My wife gets really upset when I repeat my solution full-throatedly, for the driver problem here. 

 

1.  Choke them with my right hand whilst smacking them repeatedly with the left. 

2.  Castration, at least for the worst of them, so they can not produce the next generation.

 

Upon leaving the middle east, my fantasy was to procure a 1972 Dodge PowerRam pick up truck (full size, American one), strap used tyres all around it, and drive through the city, playing bumper cars with the locals, which includes the Jinglies (and Pakis).  Then park up at the airport, keys in the bin out front, board my flight with a smile and never return.
